Publisher's Synopsis
Interhuman emotion is explored with expert precision in this collection of short stories that hover between the fantastical and the real, the poetic and the plainspoken. In “The Cove,” one of the author's best known stories, desire and hatred flare under the jungle sun in Argentina. The collection also includes a story cowritten with her friend Jorge Luis Borges and a prologue by her daughter, the writer Luisa Valenzuela.
